No that's not real that lots of the eating places in Japan serve whale meat, lots of the supermarkets in Japan sell whale meat and Japan is doing advertisement whaling. very few eating places, few supermarkets grant the beef instead and Japan is doing whaling for the source learn and checking in basic terms. I ate the beef countless time and not too undesirable. that's in basic terms animal meat. that's costly.

Whale meat is really common. It goes back to the post war time when it was pretty much the only protein around and there was no anti whaling activists.

Now kujira is not as common, I agree that it is better in taste and texture than American beef. I had it once without being told what it was ahead of time. I thought it was just really good fillet of beef.

Seriously? I went to school there, where it was served before the public was aware of the cruel whale hunting methods. It was tough and rubbery, and had to be covered in sauce for anyone to eat it. I spat it out and refused to eat it after finding out what it was. Take a long look at a whale hunting video and then ask the question again. No one should condone eating that meat. What part of that kind of cruelty is okay in any way?

Yes, it tastes good.

I read all the answers and no one was rude to you. You asked a question and you got answers. Maybe you should stop asking questions if you don't want to read answers that you don't agree with. In other words, you need to grow up!

I've had it a couple of times. If not stunningly delicious, it was better than the average American beef.
I think it is illegal in the US to deal in whale meat, isn't it?

In the meantime, enjoy looking at these dishes.
